Question #29 : The game is over and the players have the following questions:
1. How many different fields are there in this scenario?
2. How many points will each player score?
Answer #29: Since mist banks separate fields, this scenario has 7 fields as illustrated i the image below:
* Fields #1 and #2: Two fields along the road going down from the haunted castle occupied by
Yellow. Both fields pass under the bridge.
* Field #3: One field occupied by
Red's normal meeple.
* Field #4: One field at the bottom occupied by
Blue's guard meeple.
* Field #5: One field occupied by
Red's guard meeple and a pig.
* Field #6: One small unoccupied field bottom right.
* Field #7: One tiny unoccupied field between a road, a city and a mist bank at the top.
This end-of-game scenario includes several features. Let's score them on by one:
* An uncompleted castle occupied by
Yellow. This feature has 4 neighboring tiles with mist, so it is worth 4 points (4 tiles with mist x 1 point)
* An uncompleted monastery occupied by
Yellow's abbot with one ghost. The monastery is worth 5 points (5 tiles x 1 point) but the abbot has 1 ghost, so the player will score 4 points (5 points - 1 point for the ghost).
* A road occupied by
Blue with 6 tiles (one of them with a bridge). The player will score 6 points (6 tiles x 1 point).
* Field #3 occupied by
Red with a normal meeple with 2 ghosts (top left). This field has only 1 city (note that the 3-tile city does not border this filed due to the mist). Therefore the player scores 1 point ( (1 city x 3 points) - (2 ghosts x 1 point) = 3 - 2 points)
* Field #4 occupied by
Blue with a guard meeple (bottom). This field has 0 completed cities, so the player scores 0 points.
* Field #5 occupied by
Red with a guard meeple (bottom right) and a pig. The player will score 4 points for the field ( (1 city x (3 points for the city + 1 point for the pig) = 1 x 4 points)
Bottomline: Here are the answers to the questions:
1. There are 7 fields in this scenario.
2. The players will score as follows:
*
Blue scores 6 points for the road
*
Red scores 5 points (1 point for the Field #3 + 4 points for the Field #5)
*
Yellow scores 8 points (4 points for the haunted castle + 4 points for the monastery)
